Rosacea

Rosacea is a common but poorly understood disorder of the facial skin that is estimated to affect well over 16 million Americans.

Physiological symptoms of rosacea are; redness, flushing, bumps and small visible blood vessels on the face. Other symptoms may include watery or irritated eyes, as well as change in the size or shape of the nose and/or chin. Because of its red-faced, acne-like effects on personal appearance, rosacea can cause significant psychological, social and occupational problems if left untreated. Fortunately, intervention can typically control the symptoms of this potentially life-disruptive disorder.
